Yale endless passenger elevation (man-riding) winch designed to be used with unlimited rope lengths for lifting and lowering personnel. Capacities range from 500kg to 1000kg at either 9 or 18 m/min.

The Yale MTrac unlimited cable (wire rope) passenger lifting hoist or M-Track as some people may spell it, is the nearest alternative available in the market place to the Tractel Tirak XP Series manriding hoists.

The new Yale MTrac endless winch is versatile and suitable for unlimited applications. The rope is not connected which makes it compact, lightweight and very easy to handle. The unrestricted wire rope lengths capability of the Yale M-Trac makes it possible to utilise unlimited lifting heights and traction lengths.

Safety for Passenger Elevation

In accordance with the requirements of DIN EN1808, each winch used for passenger elevation must feature a safety system on an independant safety rope. Yale offers two different safety catching devices for two common applications. Both types have been approved for passenger elevation and comply with standard DIN EN 1808 "Safety requirements on suspended access equipment". In addition, the catching devices have been certified by an independant inspection institute (DGUV).

Safety Lowering Mechanism

Flexible Attachment Points

In the event of a power failure, the electric-mechanical brake can be released manually in order to ensure safe and controlled lowering of the load.

Safe lowering is guaranteed by the integrated centrifugal force brake.

The winch can be suspended from a central suspension point by means of a load pin.

As an alternative, attachment points in the corners of the housing are available for flexible attachment of the winch with screws or pins.

Overload cut-out (included in the scope of supply for passenger elevation winches).

Safety Devices

Overspeed safety catching device (YOSL)

Inclined position safety catching device (YISL)

The overspeed catching device is automatically tripped when the lowering speed of the cable exceeds 30m/min (0.5m/s).

The integrated clamping jaw mechanism made of hardened steel stops the lowering of the wire rope within a few centimetres.

The inclined position catching device is automatically tripped when the angle of the rope or the platform exceeds 5°.

The integrated clamping jaw mechanism holds the rope and immediately stops the movement of the system.
